Assume that the contract sales occurred even during the year. Thus in the current year, on a one-year
contract, on average, 50% revenue would accrue. Similarly, on a two-year contract, on average 25%
revenue would accrue; and so on.

3. Aaron Robinson Architects, Ltd. (ARAL) is a private company that reports its financial results in
accordance with ASPE. Unfortunately, a three-storey apartment building that ARAL designed
recently collapsed. The owners of the apartment complex are suing ARAL for $10 million in
damages. ARAL’s legal counsel estimate that the plaintiff has an 80% likelihood of success and that
if successful, the litigants will be awarded $6 million to $8 million with all payouts in the range being
equally likely. ARAL’s $5 million protected errors and omissions liability insurance policy includes a
$500,000 deductible clause. The appropriate accounting treatment for this situation would lead to:
a. a loss of $600,000 being reported as footnotes.
b. a $500,000 gain to be recorded.
c. a $1,400,000 loss to be accrued.

system is not easily determinable. The market rate of interest for similar transactions is 4%. GT’s
year-end is December 31.

$6,000,000 and receives proceeds of $6,540,000. Each $1,000 bond can be converted at the option of
the holder into 40 common shares. The underwriter estimated the market value of the bonds alone,
excluding conversion rights, to be approximately $6,200,000. Accumulated interest paid by the

3. Soln: 6MM loss exceeds coverage of 5MM. Thus loss recorded at difference of 1.0 MM.
However could be interpreted that the 500K deductible is part of the 5MM coverage, i.e., the
insurance pays only 4.5MM. Then the answer could be 1.5 MM. Both answers acceptable.
4. Soln: $20,000/1.04 = $19,231, thus interest expense is 20,000-19,231 = 769 and note payable
20,000
5.
6. Soln: initial issue (dr) CASH 3060k, (CR) PREF 3000K; (CR) CONT SURPL 60k then on
conversion of half: (dr) preferred shares 1500k, (cr) cont surplus 30K, (cr) common shares 1530K
7. Soln: revenue = 0.065*4.8mm * 120 actual/192exp cost =195K, expense is actual = 120K.
8. Soln: amortized cost based on proceeds of $3850K, discount = 150K, amortized 30K per year. 2014=
4 years amortization, thus 4*30K + 3850K = 3970K
9.
12. Soln: accrued interest = 3/12*0.06*1MM = $15,000, and other gain on redemption at lower than issue
price of $15,264, thus total gain = $30,264.
13. 0.03 x 500K x 0.6 = 9K; 0.03 x 500K x 0.4 = 6K; 4.7K

additional costs, amounting to $3.1 million annually were to be accrued at the beginning of the year.
Further, these will also be paid in total ($9.3 million) when the equipment would be removed.
Alumin has settled on an annual discount rate of 3%.
